Pembroke School 

Succeeding Together!

Pembroke School is nestled under the majestic Taranaki Maunga. It is a small rural school with a big heart that treasures each of its learners and aims to help them reach their potential through fun, friendship and a learning journey focused on respecting their individuality. As a small school of Year 0-8 learners in a lovely rural setting we want each of our students to thrive in a caring, supportive environment whilst making great childhood memories! 

Our school is right on target towards creating 'life long learners'! 

Our ASPIRE Values sit at the heart of all that we do and guide the kaupapa of our school. 

Nau mai haere mai

Ko Taranaki te Maunga

Ko Waitara te awa

No Taranaki ahau

Kei Whakaahurangi tōku kāinga ināianei

Ko Irene raua, ko Alan oku matua

Ko Single tōku whānau

Ko Ben tāku tane

Ko Pembroke tōku kura

 

Ko Wendy tōku ingoa

Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa


I have had the priviledge of leading Pembroke School since the start of 2021 alongside an amazing staff and highly supportive school boards. In my time at Pembroke School I have enjoyed getting to know and develop relationships with our whanau, including those who have a historical connection to our school. Connecting to our schools history and ensuring that our school continues to provide quality education in a supportive, caring rural school environment have been a priority of both staff and the school board. We are very proud of our school including it's development over the past three years in regards to culture, curriculum and property developments and look forward to continuing to ensure that 'Succeeding Together' remains our key priority. The students and their families are what makes Pembroke School the special place it is and we enjoy working together to ensure that every child is able to reach their highest potential, whilst enjoying the wonderful opportunties that all kiwi kids should enjoy growing up in our beautiful country.
